Solving Literal Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations with literal terms by isolating variables using inverse operations. It focuses on solving for the variable M in the equation E = M * C^2 by dividing both sides by C^2. The tutorial emphasizes treating literal terms like numbers when applying operations.

What are the three terms mentioned in the introduction of solving literal equations?

• P, Q, and R

• E, M, and AC squared

• X, Y, and Z

• A, B, and C

Which operation should be used to isolate a variable if it is being added to another term?

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Division

• Addition

What is the inverse operation of multiplication?

• Exponentiation

• Division

• Subtraction

• Addition

How do you isolate M in the equation E = M * C squared?

• Subtract C squared from both sides

• Divide both sides by C squared

• Add C squared to both sides

• Multiply both sides by C squared

What is the final solution for M in terms of E and C squared?

• M = E + C squared

• M = E * C squared

• M = E - C squared

• M = E / C squared
